Default How to Fill Transmission?

2016 Grand Cherokee V6 with the 8 speed transmission. Trans definitely needs replacing & I'm waiting on the warranty company to approve the fix, but after their inspection I'm now leaking fluid. I'm having difficulty locating the fill plug. I plan on adding fluid every couple of days until the repair is ready to begin. Anyone have a photo or diagram of the plug location?

This is the forum for the regular Cherokees, but probably close enough. The newer Cherokees and Grands don't have a dipstick for the transmission. There is a fill plug on the side of the trans that you fill until it overflows. It's not trivial to top it off.
